Need it is now an urgent priority for cholera and other diseases break out the situation is improving but there are still risk of further flooding sadly the risk of flooding is ever present and ultimately we have red alerts now on two of the major rivers one is a busy flowing in from zimbabwe to the sea and the other is the breezy river which is a short fat flat river which floods very easily as already battle saturation of the germs are full so were facing multiple routes that wont affect these people their concern is their next meal and how to rebuild their homes their communities and their lives. Well that was tony betty reporting for us from beirut. And now to a strain which is being hit by the second big storm in todays psychotronic across as the northwest coast at port hedland a day early as i can travel hit a remote part of the north coast its moving slowly and bringing a storm surge. Lets speak to rob mcbride who is in port hedland for us on a seemingly very very windy balcony rob veronica is making landfall at any moment. Thats right it has already made landfall the stars here at about one hundred kilometers further down the coast from where we are standing at it it is at about this time of the saturday session twenty four hours ago now that the authorities here put into place this site closed red alert thats the alert to tell people basically to take cover theres trouble coming up but much about the time we have been subjected to a run occur in the past twelve hours also pretty sick veronica not a full force its being out at sea gaining in strength very very slow the east too slowly for many people thats being gradually moving along the coast that is now making landfall if i can just give you a little look here at the shoreline it has actually. Come to less while that it was a couple of hours ago weve just gone past the high tide period when we could addition to the high tide weve had the storm surge of an extra couple of meters of water to port is a very low lying area that weve been now watching gold along this coast to the surface but crashing over into those lying areas here beyond the coast road but we are expecting in the coming days quite a lot of flooding which is going to be exacerbate the poles by the rain with all of these storm systems they also drag and large rain bands and so were expecting in the next few days very heavy rain we see here on this part of the coastline up drug of fifty millimeters of rain we could easily see that amount of rain again there before the end to this storm and to give you some idea thats by basically a years worth of rain in just a few days start you know a very wet dry on the ride for some port hedland do stay safe thank you for that update
